AMERICANS’ OPINIONS OF BIDEN:
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, data analyst Andrew Dwyer, himself a liberal, said, “I don’t think he’s the best at representing my position and issues. But I know being president involves compromises.”
- Republican voter in the 2020 election Michael McComas stated Biden is “not great — average, I guess.”
- Rochester, New York resident Theresa Ojuro “expected more” from Biden during his presidency, such as a “little bit more stability with the economy.”
- “If Biden is doing his job, why in a state like this can you see people really suffering,” Ojuro said, referring to New York’s high taxes.
BACKGROUND:
- Economists believe persistent inflation is a direct result of Biden’s economic policies.
- EJ Antoni from the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation said, “Over the past week, we have witnessed more fallout from the federal government spending, borrowing, and printing trillions of excess dollars than over the previous several years. Not only did artificially low interest rates stoke inflation, but they also have facilitated a potential banking crisis.”
- “The government’s new bailout of irresponsible financial institutions is further complicating the Federal Reserve’s belated fight against inflation,” Antoni explained. “We are witnessing in real time how misguided government intervention in the marketplace has side effects worse than the original disease. Instead of allowing that same marketplace to return to regular working order, the government continues applying ‘cures’ with harmful side effects.”
